Blue Guitar
Justin Hayward & John Lodge Lyrics

Blue guitar,
The singer is introducing the blue guitar, which is the subject of the song and likely something that has an emotional importance to him.

Fortune of my ways
The blue guitar represents the singer's past experiences and life lessons that have shaped who he is today.

Making of my days.
The blue guitar has been a constant presence in the singer's life, playing a role in shaping his daily routines and experiences.

New chord,
The artist is introducing a new element that has recently entered his life or way of thinking.

Counting up the ways
The artist is exploring and reflecting on all the possible outcomes or options this new element may bring.

Happiness is lazy.
The singer suggests that contentment often comes from a place of complacency or simplicity; being happy doesn't always mean striving for more.

If you don't know the song,
The singer acknowledges that not everyone will understand or connect with the song, and that's okay.

If you can't put the words to the tune,
Even if someone can't quite grasp what the song is about or the emotions it conveys, it's still valuable to appreciate the musicality of it.

Tell the rhyme from the reason,
The artist is reminding us that sometimes it's hard to fully make sense of why we feel the way we do or why certain things matter to us - and that's okay, too.

What should it matter
Ultimately, the artist is suggesting that whether or not we fully understand the meaning or significance of the song, it doesn't diminish our experience of it - it can still be meaningful in its own way.

To the fool or the dreamer?
The singer is asking a rhetorical question, reinforcing the idea that it doesn't matter how we perceive or understand the song - it can still be impactful to anyone, regardless of their preconceived notions or beliefs.

New hope,
A new possibility for something better has arisen in the artist's life.

Travellers in a storm,
The singer is likening himself and anyone else in a similar situation to travellers navigating a storm or difficult situation.

Finding love is warm.
The singer is suggesting that despite the difficulties or challenges, love and positive emotions can make us feel warm and comforted.

New day,
The singer is introducing the idea of a fresh start - a new day brings new opportunities.

The world has just begun,
The artist is suggesting that there is still so much potential in the world and in life, despite any previous hardships or disappointments.

Our eyes have seen the sun.
The artist has an optimistic outlook and is implying that there are brighter days ahead, and to keep looking towards the light.

If you don't know the way,
The singer is acknowledging that not everyone knows exactly what they want or where they're headed in life.

If you can't see the wood for the trees,
The singer is suggesting that sometimes we can't see the bigger picture, and that's okay - as long as we keep moving forward.

Taste the wine from the water,
The artist is suggesting that sometimes we need to make the most of what we have, even if it's not perfect or ideal.

Well, what should it matter,
The artist is reinforcing the idea that despite any uncertainty or ambiguity in life, we should still strive to find meaning and appreciate the good things we do have.

To the fool or the dreamer?
The artist is using the same rhetorical question from earlier, implying that anyone can find significance and value in this approach to life, regardless of who they are or how they perceive the world.
